With pollution in today’s environment, it has become difficult to maintain clear and healthy skin. However its not only the pollution which affects our skin. Stress and unnecessary tension also affects our skin in an adverse manner. To reverse the harmful effects of such stresses and pollution, your skin needs the right nutrients to fight off the damage. The nutrients help strengthen the skin, replicate new skin cells quickly and have more energy. Stress and pollution only causes your skin to age early.
